Chapter 9

"Ah, the lovely Carmelita. How nice of you to stop by… just for ME!" Sly said.

"Shut up ringtail and put your hands in the air!" Carmelita yelled, her fur bristling.

"What's with you?" Eddy asked. (I know, wrong move.)

"SHUT UP AND PUT YOUR HANDS BACK IN THE AIR!" Carmelita said with her finger gently squeezing the shock pistol's trigger though not hard enough to fire it.

"You're not the boss of me. So take a hike!" Eddy yelled.

"Eddy!" Double d yelled out. "Mind your manners!"

"Yeah, that wasn't very nice." Sly said teasingly. Sly winked at Eddy and gave him a signal to put his hands up and just play along.

"Fine. There, you happy now?" Eddy moaned as he put his hands back in the air.

"Now all of you are under arrest!" Carmelita said as she walked tworads them.

"Jail, what did I do?" Double d asked.

"Can it!" Carmelita yelled.

"Do you think we will be able to ride in a police car?" Ed said in his dumb voice.

"Nope, NOW COME ON!" Sly yelled as he signaled the Eds to run. Immediately everyone ran tworads the team van. Everyone hopped in and then they took off. Unsurprisingly Carmelita was right behind them in her red convertible. Even through the loud roars of the van's motor and other vehicles, everyone could hear Carmelita yelling out loud.

"Stop! Thief!" Carmelita yelled. A drawbridge was starting to split apart for a cruise ship. Murray revved up the engine and hammered the gas and the van flew into the air and on the other side of the bridge.

"Gosh darn it!" Carmelita yelled to herself. "I lost them again! Darn that blasted raccoon!"

Meanwhile everyone in the get away van was laughing.

"Well guys, we gave her the slip again!" Sly said.

"Yeah, I guess we did." Bentley said. Everyone was filled with laughter. When they all calmed down, Eddy asked, "So who was that girl anyway?"

"That was inspector Carmelita Fox. She's the detective that was assigned to my case."

"Oh, cool." Eddy said.

"So I suppose this isn't the first time you ran away from her is it?" Double d said.

Sly looked and his gang looked at each other, and then chuckled.

"It's not the first time I'll tell you that." Sly said. The rest of the van ride back to headquarters was silent. When they arrived at Sly's hideout, the Eds looked at each other.

"Well, what a coincidence." Double d said.

"What?" Sly asked.

"Well, it seems our Rocket Car was parked right behind your hideout this whole time, and we didn't even know that this was where your hideout was located."

"Number one, what a coincidence indeed, and number two, what do you mean ROCKET CAR?" Sly asked. The Eds looked at each other.

"Come on, we'll show you." Eddy said. The Eds led sly and his gang to the back of his hideout where their rocket car was parked safe and sound.

Bentley was the first to react. "Why… this is absolutely amazing! How did you get your hands on a piece of equipment like this?" Bentley asked as he continued to admire the rocket car's interior and exterior features.

"I built it with the help of Ed and Eddy." Double d said.

Bentley's eyes grew large and his jaw dropped same goes for Murray and Sly. "Are you serious?" Murray finally asked.

"Yes, I'm positive." Double d said. "Yeah, you gotta believe him, he's the smart one." Eddy said.

"Well he is smart indeed." Bentley said.

"So, I guess it's getting late. It's night time. And young people like you should be going to bed. So, I guess this is good night. We'll be here all week, so feel free to visit us. We could use some company." Sly said.

"Sure, we'll stop by. Well, I'm tired, I'm gonna hit the sack." Eddy said.

"Yeah, me too, good night." Double d waved as he went in the rocket car. The Eds went inside the rocket car. When Sly and his gang went to their hideout, they could hear Ed and Eddy.

"Tell me a story."

"Shut up Ed."

Okay, that was chapter 9. A little longer than usual, this is good to me. Reviews, please. Next chapter will come sometime.
